Reviewing the NFL waiver wire claims

In all, 40 players who were waived off rosters on Friday found new teams on Saturday.

Included in the 40 who found new jobs were safety Rafael Bush, who was waived by the Broncos and claimed by New Orleans, and former Broncos tight end Richard Quinn, who was waived by the Washington Redskins and claimed by the Dallas Cowboys.

No team re-set their 53-man roster roster more than the Miami Dolphins, who were awarded four players off waivers: WR Anthony Armstrong, LB Sammy Brown and DB’s Troy Nolan and R.J. Stanford. Wouldn’t that be a bad sign to add so many players cut from others?

Indianapolis, the New York Jets and Oakland also were awarded three players off waivers.

The New England Patriots put in claims on three offensive linemen — tackles Daniel Baldridge and Mike Person and center Mike Tennant — and didn’t get any of them. The Pats had the No. 31 ranking in the 32-slot waiver system.

The most claimed player was Person. Indianapolis, Seattle and New England all put dibs on him. He was awarded to Indy, which had the No. 1 priority.
